Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its response. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or other direct message as needed to answer it. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems receive routine technical details when a page loads, including:
- Page-view dates and times
- The referring website, when available
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Visited pages and approximate visit length
- The Internet Protocol address used by the device
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure site use, such as popular pages and points where a visit ends. Analytics providers combine this traffic data for reporting. A browser can reject cookies, although blocking them may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a submitted query to the selected search partner
- Maintaining reliable and responsive pages
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Measuring which content is useful or needs revision
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not create, store, or sell a database of personal criminal histories. The site identifies official Crenshaw County sources, including the sheriff, courts, ALEA, and the Alabama Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not combined into a third-party record or consumer report. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies provide the embedded search services. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure practices apply to information entered there. Review the selected provider's terms before submitting a query because we do not control its data handling.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, law-enforcement agencies, state offices, legal resources, or commercial search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy governs. Check it before providing personal details.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted ads.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be disclosed to:
- A search provider that receives a query
- An ad network serving content on our pages
- An analytics provider measuring traffic and performance
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards help protect collected data. No Internet service can guarantee absolute security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under eighteen. If such data is identified, we will remove it after receiving notice.
Your Data Rights
Rights can depend on where a visitor lives. Alabama's Open Records Act, Ala. Code § 36-12-40, concerns official public writings, while Ala. Code § 41-9-601 restricts false-pretense access to and unauthorized disclosure of criminal-offender information. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal data we hold
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Seek deletion where the law permits it
- Object to certain processing when an applicable law provides that choice
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. An updated version will appear here with a new effective date, and continued use will be governed by the posted version.
